I wonder how many people are sending coins from other exchanges to Bitfinex in order to "benefit" from the $100 premium.

Bitfinex is not alone in the bitcoin community in confronting challenges presented by correspondent banks; other exchanges in the digital currency ecosystem are also being affected. However, we are no longer in a position where we can wait for our existing banking partners to provide viable solutions. Accordingly, we are taking steps to work with our attorneys to ensure they are able to satisfy any requests and claims from customers. We are confident that this short-term solution will allow us to meet our fiat obligations to customers. However, it will likely be a one-time option per customer for USD withdrawals. It is not an ongoing solution to the correspondent banking problem and customers should be advised that they will be required to provide an appropriate acknowledgment of payment for claims in order to receive their fiat funds. Nonetheless, we believe it is important to build this solution for the immediate needs of our customers. This is also taking some time, and we will report back on our progress as soon as we are able.

It's not certain yet. It will be pure gambling since there isn't anything that will guarantee Bitfinex to come with a proper (temporary) solution within a reasonable amount of time. Either way, instead of people getting blinded by their greed and take the risk, they should stay far, far away from that exchange. It's not worth the risk.

Actually $100 USD premium is not that huge amount. However, as long as people is making money then its worth a try. Grin

Current price on Bitfinex: 1420. ATH?

Well, this gets me going. Will it be possible from some of Bitfinex customer, say customer A want to file a lawsuit against them because customer A
cannot withdraw his fiat money from Bitfinex? I'm just finding it filing a lawsuit against Bitfinex is the only way to get your money because they still haven't any resolution yet on the ongoing issue they are facing. No?
